EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Portloe, nestled on the rugged coastline of Cornwall. Taken on a sunny day in July 1912 by photographer Herbert Hughes, this general view captures the essence of coastal life and its close connection to the sea. From atop a cliff on the south side, we are treated to an expansive vista that encompasses both the quaint village and its bustling cove. The scene is alive with activity as fishing boats known as luggers dot the sparkling waters, their sails billowing in the gentle breeze. These sturdy vessels were essential for sustaining local communities, providing them with fresh fish and creating a strong sense of camaraderie among fishermen. The charm of Cornish villages lies not only in their natural beauty but also in their tight-knit communities. In this image, we can see villagers going about their daily routines along a vibrant slipway that leads down to the water's edge. It is here that they unload their catch or embark on new adventures at sea. As our eyes trace along the undulating coastline, it becomes evident why Cornwall has long been celebrated for its stunning landscapes. The jagged cliffs stand proudly against crashing waves while offering breathtaking views over Portloe's charming houses nestled amidst verdant hillsides. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a timeless reminder of how coastal communities like Portloe have thrived for centuries through their deep connection to both land and sea.
